Now that Marshall has spurned Bama...

[Special Ed]

Do you think they'll try to outbid TX for Shaka Smart's services?

 

[WallyBalls]

I'd doubt it.

My guess would be Pitino Jr or Prohm.

 

[RetardedElf]

They just fired one former vcu coach doubt they go back to that well so soon

 

[VolsSportsFan]

I would guess Smart has no interest in Alabama.

 

[Caculator]

Prohm should be their man.

 

[JohnnyD1024]

Buzz Peterson is available with no buy out.

 

[Biopsyman]

Tx will end up doing the same or worst

 

[Aesius]

Prohm should be their man.

This makes the most sense, but he may be holding out for a better job as well. Bama probably shouldn't have fired Grant.

 

[BurninOrange]

Tx will end up doing the same or worst

If you think they will make a worse hire you are wrong. Shaka will be at Texas which will be a great hire for them

 

[ainge10heisman]

I don't get peoples fascination with Pitino Jr. Has he really done anything to warrant a big time job? Three years in as being a head coach he has a 61-42 overall record. He does have a NIT championship, so that's something. I guess people are more attracted to his name than his actual results. He may up being a really good coach in time, but right now he isn't IMO.

Let's put it this way, how many first year head coaches that goes 18-14 becomes a head coach at a Power 5 university after their first year?

 

[UTwild82]

They should hire Prohm. Solid coach and an alum.

Gotta keep that Murray State to Bama coaching pipeline going.

 

[dreVol]

Please hire Pitino Jr.

 

[McCat]

Billy Clyde is throwing his beer bottle into the ring, I hear.

How depressed were UK fans when that guy was your coach?

 

[NashVol11]

Shaka will probably be at Texas, but it will by no means be a great hire.

 

[Special Ed]

Now that TX has hired Shaka, it looks like my prescience is showing.

 

[NashVol11]

You mean the fact that you threw out Smart to Texas when they had already started negotiating? Haha

 

[VolsSportsFan]

Looking like Pitino Jr. is going to say no as well.

 

[Special Ed]

Apparently, the AD at TX was talking to Smart even before Barnes was let go.
Besides that, negotiating does not mean signed, sealed, and delivered.

 

[McCat]

For every coach that rejects Bama, the price of buying Steve Prohm goes up.

 

[JohnnyD1024]

If Bama gets turned down anymore, they might have to call Anthony Grant be like "Just Kidding".

 

[golfballs]

So Bama is meeting with Avery Johnson......

Interesting

 

[VOLnMiami]

Nobody wants to live in tuscaloosa unless they are paying you 10 million a year...Even then you have to have 2nd thoughts...Place is a dump.

 

[Panthro]

Is Avery Johnson really about to take the Alabama job? What does he know about recruiting? He had a little success as a coach in the NBA but this could be best case scenario for us.
